NBIceman 07/21/21 9:40:55 PM #366:	Hades (PC) First of all, a huge shout out to @PrivateBiscuit1 for gifting me this game for Secret Santa this past year (alongside Cuphead, which I neglected to mention when I posted about it a few months ago, and Stardew Valley, which I'm obviously getting to eventually). Thanks again for the truly awesome set of games, man! Anyway, Hades has had a lot of awards and superlatives thrown at it pretty much since the day it released, and it dang sure earned every one of them. It's been a long time since I got annoyed at my daily life responsibilities (work, school, etc.) specifically because they were getting in the way of me playing a video game rather than because they just suck on their own merits, but that was the feeling I got with this one. Incredible experience in every possible way, at absolute minimum a top 25 game all-time for me. My gamer confidence was a little low after CotM2, but after this game I think I've kinda confirmed that it's indeed mostly just those old-school platformers that give me trouble, because from what I can tell in some quick browsing of other forums and such, I think I made it through my playthrough here at a pretty solid clip compared to many. Made it to the Hades fight on my eighth escape attempt, beat him for the first time on #15 after a couple very close calls, then did it again on #17, and then rattled off eight in a row starting on attempt 19 to finish the main story, including at least one clear with each weapon and a couple different Heat levels thrown in for good measure when I got ambitious. Definitely not gonna put this one on the proverbial shelf yet - want to at least ~~make it to the epilogue~~ before I call it quits, but July has been such a prolific month that I'm gonna put it on the backburner for a week or two just to see how many more I can squeeze in. And then I think I'm gonna go on a mini Supergiant streak because I played Bastion forever ago but have had Transistor and Pyre just sitting in my Steam library for a long while and I think it's definitely time I get to those. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights - Longhorns <cite>NBIceman posted [p:956333748] in Post Each ...
